Growth-stage startups across Africa can now apply to the latest edition of Google for Startups Accelerator Africa, a three-month hybrid program focused on companies building artificial intelligence-driven solutions.
The 12-week “AI First” initiative, known as Accelerator Africa 10, is aimed at Series A startups based on the continent or those developing Africa-focused products powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Google said selected startups will have access to its technical expertise, AI tools and product resources. Participants will also receive mentorship from experienced AI experts and access to a broader network of founders, engineers, and investors.
The program is designed for startups that have demonstrated product market traction, offer scalable solutions, and operate across clearly defined addressable markets. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a defensible growth model and a commitment to building sustainable technology businesses.
The accelerator combines virtual sessions and in-person engagement, allowing founders to work directly with Google engineers and product specialists on product development, AI integration, and growth strategy.
Applications for Accelerator Africa 10 are open until March 18th.
